How to prepare it step by step?
Preparation
- Wash the zucchini and grate them finely. Drain the excess water well using a strainer or a clean cloth to prevent the mixture from becoming too liquid.
- In a large bowl, mix the grated zucchini with the beaten eggs, flour, grated cheese, and minced garlic. Mix until you obtain a homogeneous mass.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the amount according to the desired flavor. Optionally, add a pinch of nutmeg for an aromatic touch.
- Heat a frying pan with oil over medium heat. Form small pancakes with the dough, using a spoon to give them a round and uniform shape.
- Fry each pancake until both sides are golden brown and crispy, about 3–4 minutes per side, ensuring they don't burn.
- Remove and drain on absorbent paper to remove excess oil.
- Serve hot or warm, alone or accompanied by yogurt, tomato, or guacamole sauce, depending on preference.
